Happiness is a state of mind
One can get it by only being kind
You may not get it in riches
But may find living near ditches
You can’t get happiness by enjoying yourself
But you can get it by extending others help
Real Happiness lies in contentment
It does not lie in unethical merriment
There is enough for every one’s need
But not for everybody’s greed
You should respect your neighbour
And help him with your possible labour
Our life on earth is a mystery
We should find a page in history
All of us will inevitably go far away
Only our good things will eternally stay
We should win some victory for humanity
Only that makes us go near divinity
We may not be great men of charity
But on the poor and the needy we should take pity

The image expressed it delightfully, and provoked a smile. It is an interesting consideration....the last time I discussed it, I lost the argument(friendly)....you are expressing rather a common understanding of it....and I do not disagree. Essentially you seem to be urging us all to follow charity, which would seem verily a divine attribute, and useful in providing us and others with some happiness. Hmm. Fascinating. I enjoyed it...thanks for this provocative consideration.
